Reading over the steps once more Amelia opened her bag and took out her dragon hide gloves. She put them on at the bench and also pushed her goggles down. She could be forgetful so better to have the gloves on as soon as she remembered them than to wait until she got closer to the seeds. Otherwise she'd probably burn herself, and she didn't need more scars from fire.
As she walked over to the seeds she took several deep, hopefully calming breaths. She'd already been feeling enclosed, but now that she actually had to go near the fire seeds... well the feeling was getting even worse.
She carefully grabbed a fire seed and then moved quickly back to her pot, placing it on top of the soil as directed before taking several steps back. She was not enjoying herself. At least she was now nearly done though. All she had to do was cover the seed and water it.
Unfortunately Amelia couldn't maintain her distance from the seed. Much as she would like to do so to cover the seed she'd need to actually be near it. If she could find any way to cover it from far, far away she would have done so.
Taking tentative steps back towards the pot, and the bucket with the soil, Amelia picked up the little spade thing again, and began to carefully shovel the soil into the pot. She worked diligently, but instead of finding the task relaxing as she had with the first half of the pot she found this quite stressful due to the seed lurking beneath the soil.
Once the pot was filled as much as it needed to be Amelia gave the soil a pat down, being careful to not pat it down too much and therefore damage the seed. Because as much as she hated anything that could create fire she didn't want to get a bad grade for killing the seed.
That done she placed away the tools she'd no longer need, and removed one of her gloves, placing it next to her instructions.
